1. Humans cannot and do not have the right to interpret the Word of God ( the Bible ) as they wish. ONLY the Bible can interpret itself. 2. The Bible clearly says that homosexuality is a sin. 3. God does not change and He does not change His mind. The Bible NEVER says that God changed His mind. All the supposed passages that seem to indicate that God changed His mind must be studied in their context and in the context of the whole of God's Word. 4. God does not forget. Signs of covenants are not made to make God remember something He forgot, but they are signs of assurance that God WILL NOT forget His covenant. Signs are made for humans, so that they may have assurance in the unchanging Nature of God, and they are not made for God. The context clearly shows this truth. Be in Peace!

And Salvation from sins is a topic of the Armenian Apostolic Church. Grace be with you!

The topic is about how YOU plan to be saved from your sins, and not about someone from whom I will save you. Sorry, I don't know what you mean by "IRS". Grace to you!

Dear friend, The Church is the body of Jesus Christ. Our Lord has only one Church, represented in each city or region with local churches. So the essential is not to which local church a person goes for worship, but the essential is that he be a member of Christ's body, the Church. Are you saved from your sins and have you become a member of Christ's Church? Be in Peace!

It happened by error, and not on purpose, as I didn't know the different sections of this forum. Be in Peace!

Almost 6 years passed since we began this topic. Is there not anyone interested to continue talking about the real Love of God?

How are you planning to be saved from your sins? ----------------------------- N.B.: I only understand Armenian, Arabic, French and English. Please, no Russian.

Peace and Love to you!My dear friends, do not waste your times with your pride. Do you really believe in Jesus? So you must believe in His Words. Look what Jesus says:"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:3).Did you ever think about being "POOR IN SPIRIT" ?Well, if you are poor in spirit, you will have the Kingdom of Heaven. The Lord Jesus said very clearly:"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life." (John 5:24)Do you believe these words? He said "HAS eternal life" and not "WILL have" or "MAY have"! He said "DOES NOT come to judgment". He said "HAS passed" and not "WILL pass" or "MAY pass" !!!The Lord Jesus talks CLEARLY. He says also:"I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25-26).Here is the question asked by Jesus Himself: "DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?"If you believe this, so you believe you HAVE passed out of death into life; you believe Jesus is the Resurrection, so you will never die!If you don't believe in this, you will never have peace in your heart, and you will always be in trouble concerning your eternal condition!And just know this: FAITH is NOT a mental idea! It's a real trust in Jesus Christ through His Words! You can't say "I believe but I do not practice". Such a faith is not the Christian faith! If you believe in Jesus, He will be the King of your life, and you will know this!God doesn't lie! So the Bible does not lie!Believe in Jesus Christ and you are saved!With Love,Yaqubos†[email protected]

Peace to you and Love from my Lord ! Brothers, in this message I would like to write to you about the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! This Love has a special name in the ancient Koïne Greek (The language in which the New Testament was written). That word is "Agape". Agape is the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. Agape or Unconditional Love accepts you as you are, loves you and gives you with no demand for return. When someone really loves with that kind of love (Agape), he accepts you without conditions. But when we say "accepts you", so we have to conclude that you have first to come to him! When we talk about someone accepting, we have to talk also about someone demanding to be accepted. Agape: this is how God loves you! He gives you everything you NEED before you ask. Sometimes you don't have what you need, but that's because of your sins. SIN is the problem between man and GOD. And this SIN is what made us out of Paradise! I mean, man didn't want to honor God and to respect His holy Will! And this is SIN! And God hates sin! But God Loves sinners. So if a man COMES to Him, He accepts him! But how can He accept you if you don't COME and DEMAND TO BE ACCEPTED! He respects your freedom! If you don't choose Him, then you are choosing SIN and Eternal Hell! God is ready to accept you WITHOUT CONDITIONS, because He is LOVE. The Bible says: "The one who does not love does not know God, for GOD IS LOVE". And the word used here is "Agape" (God is Agape). For there are two other words in Greek: "Philia" (conditional love = a love in which there is a give-and-take), and "Eros" (self-seeking love = a love concerned with its own desires). But the word used in the New Testament is "Agape". And it's a fact that God loves us with UNCONDITIONAL Love. Look to everything He gives you without demanding anything. He even gives you things that you sometimes don't deserve! And as for your SINS (your great problem with Him), God always applies the same Love (Agape) for God doesn't change. You come to Him as a SINNER (not as someone who has done good deeds that deserve forgiveness!) And He accepts you! Yes, He accepts you when you are still a sinner without anything good in you (POOR IN SPIRIT!) And this glorifies Him alone! For if you had something you can do to DESERVE forgiveness, then you could glorify yourself by those good deeds. No…No… "Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Thy name give glory because of Thy lovingkindness, because of Thy truth" says the psalmist in the Bible. So, we have to be humble. And even being humble must not make us be proud ! I mean that we can't be proud about being humble!!! So being humble is not something good we do by our self-righteousness! When we are humble we are what we OUGHT to be. I am POOR IN SPIRIT, so it's normal for me to be humble! A POOR man cannot be proud of having very much money! He is POOR, so he OUGHT to be HUMBLE. And when he is humble, he is not doing some good work! He OUGHT TO BE HUMBLE! And, because we are POOR, we need the GRACE of God. So we have to demand SALVATION from HIM. And He accepts us, because He paid the price of our sins. JESUS PAID THAT PRICE ON THE CROSS! God respects His Holy Law and He forgives you (the sinner) in the same time! For as He gave a sacrifice to Abraham (in the place of his son), He also gave us Jesus to be a Sacrifice for us! So the debt of your sins is paid by Jesus. God loved you so much, that He even paid the debt of your sins! If you accept His sacrifice, you don't pay the price of your sin (Price of sin = Eternal Hell). If you do not accept that sacrifice, then you will pay that price YOURSELF (You will go to hell !). If Abraham didn't accept the sacrifice that God gave him, he would sacrifice his son! Dear brother, God loves you. The Christ says: "The one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out." He accepts you AS YOU ARE. Do not believe those who tell you that you have to do good deeds in order to be accepted. God didn't put conditions, because He knows that you are POOR and you can't pay! You are POOR IN SPIRIT, so you can't pay good deeds! But when you come to Him, He gives you a new nature that loves to do His Will! Then you will do good deeds! You will LOVE to do good deeds. Why do you think that if your good deeds will not deserve forgiveness, then you will not do good deeds? God doesn't need forgiveness, but He DOES good deeds! Please, brother, think seriously about your ETERNITY! Think seriously about your relation with your Holy God. If you take your sins with you to the Judgment, then you will CERTAINLY go to Hell, because God hates sin! So if someone tells you that your sins and your good deeds will be put on the balance, he is then lying! If your sins will be there on the balance, so they are NOT forgiven! God Loves you and He is ready to forgive your sins! And when He forgives them, He will never mention them again! With Love, Yaqubos† For questions: [email protected]

Peace to you!Please, my friends, do not change the subject. You are talking through your complexes, but I am talking about your Eternal life!When you will die, all you are saying now will not be important. Just Faith in JESUS CHRIST can save you.Bless you,Yaqubos†

Dear brother, dear sister, Peace to you ! I am Yaqubos†. I love you, that’s why I am writing to you this message. This message is very important. I wish to ask you these questions. Read them slowly and carefully, and please try to answer: Do you know what is Hell ? Do you know what’s the meaning of ETERNITY ? Not 1 hour, not 2 hours, not 1 day, not 1 year, not 1 century… Do you understand what’s the meaning of being in hell for your ETERNITY ? Do you know that God hates sin, but He Loves sinners ? Do you admit that you are a sinner ? Do you understand that you are the enemy of God, you hate God ?! Yes, you hate Him, because you are sinning ! Please, don’t stop reading. Continue, for there are good news ! Do you know that, as a result of your sins, you will go to hell ? For Eternity… Yes, for Eternity, because you are sinning against the Eternal God, so your sin has an eternal value… Do you know that you are a limited creature and that your works are limited ? So do you understand that you can’t save yourself by your limited deeds and works, because limitted works don’t erase sins of an eternal value ? But do you know that GOD LOVES YOU ! He doesn’t want you to go to hell ! Do you know that Jesus Christ was SINLESS ? But He paid the debt of your sins ! He is God, so His works and deeds are not limited ! Your sins killed Him on the cross ! God accepted the Sacrifice of Jesus, that’s why He raised from the death ! God wants you to believe in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, to believe in Him as Lord and Savior. If you believe, you are saved ! If you believe, God will forget your sins, because He loves you and because Jesus died instead of you ! Please, do not try to say that you don’t need Jesus. Let me ask you this question also: If the law of your country says that a killer must die, and if the daughter of your country’s president kills your parents, don’t you think that this daughter of the president must die ? So, now, if this president says that his daughter will not die just because she is his daughter and that he loves her, then will you say that this president is fair ? What will you say about his justice ? And God is the Governor of the univers. He has put a Law in this univers. He says that, as a result of sins, the sinner must go to hell ! If this Governor doesn’t apply this Law even on those whom He loves, then He will be unfair ! But in the same time, God loves you and He doesn’t want you to go to hell. So He sent Jesus who accomplished the Law of this Governor and He died in your place ! So the Governor died because He didn’t want the sinner to die in hell ! But if the sinner doesn’t accept this Sacrifice, He will go to hell ! For Eternity… Please, do not go to hell ! Please, believe in Jesus Christ and repent from your sins ! Live for Jesus. He promises to give you the better Life ! He promises to give you Eternal Life that begins here, on earth ! So don’t live and leave the earth without Jesus ! The Lord bless you !

Peace to you, dear Atos!I am happy that you are so interested in the existance of GOD that you always try to proove that He doesn't exist!As for forgiveness, it is not difficult to think that it is weakness! Dear Atos, I invite you to forgive (REALLY forgive = forgive untill the end even when others do NOT understand your forgiveness). After you have forgiven, then try to look if that was difficult or simple. And if you don't like to try that experience, I invite you to explain how much it is difficult to hate and to NOT forgive!Love always forgives, and LOVE is the strongest!But it is IMPOSSIBLE for a human to forgive like the LORD Jesus did untill he is BORN AGAIN, it means untill he repents and believes in Jesus Christ as LORD and SAVIOR!I invite all my friends on Hayastan.com to come to JESUS CHRIST, because HE SAVES. HE saved me ! I am a witness of His POWER! If you want to know more about Jesus, open: http://www.whoisjesus-really.com/index.htmThe Lord bless you, my friend Atos.Yaqubos†

Peace to you, brother Nikolay!Thank you for your prayers. I'll pray for you too. PLEASE pray with me also for our friend Atos. He seems to be a good guy, but he doesn't know what he is saying. It seems that he was instructed like that. PLEASE pray that the Message of the Gospel arrives to men like him. You know: forgive them, because they do not know what they do !Bless you, brother!Your brother in JESUS CHRIST,Yaqubos†For any question: [email protected]

Peace to you, dear Hamo.Don't try, coz you will fail. JUST BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AND REPENT.Bless you,Yaqubos†
